Heartbroken!
Oh the tragedy! My heart lies bleeding on the floor and stomped upon. Dandy does not remember our first date! And here I thought it was so special for the both of us. Now I have to take some time to collect myself and remember that our relationship is still solid....maybe just not as solid as I had once thought. Waaaaaaahhhhhh!
Ok, so yes, our first outing together was at Guero's. I'm hoping you at least remember the place!!?? It was in South Austin, so more on my side of the tracks than yours :) We were in Sam Oh's class together and had started getting chummy (I still think of Sam Oh and how he was always jacked up on Red Bull!) over the woes of database design. I think that might've been the hardest class I took in grad school (but I still got an A, hee hee). I remember that we first started talking because I brought a piece of fruit every day and you mentioned it to me once about how my fruit always looked so tasty. Then there was the time that I brought rice krispie treats and those teeny tiny grapes (champagne grapes) from Central Market. I think that sealed the deal because we shared. Anyway, so after we had talked in class and gotten to know each other a bit, we decided to meet up outside of school and Guero's was where we went. It was really hot out (of course, right?) and we sat in a booth in the more front part of the place. It would be to your left as you walked in (see what a memory I have!). I had the fish tacos because I LOVED their fish tacos. Sadly, I don't remember what you had except for the margaritas because we both had them. We just talked about everything and I knew that I had made a friend for life! We had all those little coincidences.....Midwestern girls, family in Wisconsin, family that actually knew other family, wound up in Austin at the same time, wondering what the hell we would do once we graduated. I'm pretty sure you were wearing your beloved flip flops. The only other thing I remember was that we wound up staying a lot longer than I think either of us planned. When I got home Brad was wondering where the heck I was!
Ahhh, the good old days.........

Ok, I should've mentioned how much I did remember about that night. Now you'll just think I'm saying so to look better! I remember the booth that we sat in, I had those rolled fried tamale things and they were soooo good. I remember that I was a little intimidated by how you and Devin were such a team and I didn't think you'd want to add me to your little clique. I got a B because my database came up on a fatal error and Dr. Oh and his assistant refused to help me :( I guess I'm lucky I got a B. You cut your hair dramatically while we were in that class (well, you got it cut elsewhere but it was that semester!) and it looked so nice short, once I got over the shock of your missing locks. I remember that the first time that we really talked was at the reference desk where you worked. I was doing a reference assignment and don't remember how we got to talking. I hoped that someone like you would want to be friends with me!
So there, I do remember a lot!!
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!
